There is no one federal law that specifically addresses employment applications, although there are record retention guidelines under a variety of federal laws (see the Recordkeeping topic) and non-discrimination provisions for hiring in general (see the Discrimination topic).
New Mexico statutes provide that it is discriminatory for an employer to use any form of application for employment that expresses discrimination as to race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability or serious medical condition, or, if the employer has fifty or more employees, spousal affiliation, unless based on a bona fide occupational qualification. §28-1-7.
